Jon Rappoport — This is a coup: the Homeland Security takeover of US elections

Whether it is a coup or not remains to seen, but all the ducks are in place and there seem to be no checks and balances. More invasion of constitutional liberties like the Patriot Act and other measure that have led to the replacement of a liberal democracy with a national security - police state - surveillance state?

Interestingly, Russia was supposedly trying to undermine trust in the US electoral process but there is no evidence of actually tampering with the vote. But now DHS will apparently be in a position to do so with no oversight.

Regardless of the reality, which is impossible to determine, a significant number of Americas are now likely to perceive that the American electoral system in untrustworthy, something that many already suspect owing to previous incidents.

Another issue is moving out of the realm of marginal conspiracy theory into the mainstream.
